At present, the fourth phase of Chongqing's rail transit project has started construction, and a number of lines will be completed and opened to traffic next year.
According to netizens, as of May 2024, the third phase has been basically completed, and all lines in the fourth phase have been built. According to the plan of the Chongqing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, in the first half of next year (2025), the east station section of Rail Transit Line 6 will be opened, and the west extension of Line 4, the first phase of Line 15, the first section of the second phase of Line 5 and the first phase of Line 24 will be opened by the end of next year.
The netizen questioned: Before reporting the new phase of rail transit, a lot of preliminary work needs to be done. Before reporting the new phase of construction, urban rail transit should implement the mid-term assessment of the previous phase, and the financial investment should not be less than 40% of the total investment. What percentage of the city's current investment has reached? Will the construction progress reach 70% by the end of the year? Or when will it get to 70%? When will the fourth phase of the interim passenger flow assessment and the fifth phase of rail transit be reported?
